Eating after not being paired up

[jplehmann]

I recently acquired a sizable number of bp's which had been eating live. I managed to get about 2/3 of them to eat F/T the first time. Most of the rest were adults and haven't been interested in F/T or live for the first time or two. Most of these adults were also paired up, so I was thinking they may off feeding right now because they were involved in breeding recently. Is that a likely explanation? And if so since I have unpaired all of them, is it reasonable to think that they would begin eating again in the next few weeks or can that throw them off for much longer?

All of these animals are very healthy looking, like they have been eating well. Thanks.

Title should have actually been "Not eating after being paired up". Borat misplaced the "not".

Bumping my my own question.

TLDR: Once you separate breeding snakes, how long does it usually take for them to resume eating, assuming nobody got knocked up?

It really depends on them. If the males can smell the females sometimes they will not eat. Just be patient with them, They will start eating again. Just keep an eye on there weights.
